NOT PREPARED FOR WAR.
What a Naval Officer Says Of the De
fenSeless Condition Of the Country.


81 see that some Of the Senators are bold enough
to take the stand that this country should pro-
tect Itself In the matter OF the fisheries troubles
said naval officer to-day to q STAR reporter
"That might mean war" he continued, sand don't
believe that one Of them realizes what would be the
result of a war with Great Britain In the present
unprotected condition Of the country. With no de-
lenses, no navy, and but small army that would
be utterly powerless, we would be at the mercy
OF an enemy not half so powerful as England
just imagine a declaration OF war. British
squadron could come up the Potomac as far
as Alexandria and blow everything in sight to per-
ditfon. The gentlemen at the capital would be
among the first to make move westward. The
On account Of the. bar there, but that would be
plenty far enough. A million men along the
banks of the Potomac could not prevent the COM
piete destruction OF washington, and other cities
could be treated in the same way"
"Why not tOrpedoeS?' asked The STAR man.
lief that torpedoes would protect Us. Defensive
torpedo warfare keeps pace with offensive torpedo
the protection OF war Vessels keeps
pace with the improvement in guns
II tOrpedoeS are sunk devices are invented for
their removal. AS we stand now we haven't the
protected ships, the improved guns or the torpe-
does. Congress must do something for our defense
or never think OF maintaining a beIlfgerent stand
with any success The navy as 1t is now consti-
tuted might as well be abolished. The only remedy
Is TO remove the army and navy entirely from
politics. Until both republicans and democrats
realize that the military must be neutral and DO
into the composition OF the army or navy there viii
be no future for either"

THE WORK DELAYED BIZ THE FAILURE OF THE HousR
10 ACT ON THE BILL WHICH PASSED TEE SENATE
The project for filling the monument grounds
and Babcock lake for the purpose OF making an
irregular mound for the washington monument
is at standsttll and much valuable time is being
lost In consequence. The bids for performing the
work were rejeaed as too high, but previous to
advertising again for proposals it was thought ad-
vlsable TO secure permission from Congress to lay
temporary track In the streets for this parttcu-
lar work, as In this way 1t was considered pr0ba-
BILE that the work could be done at reasonable
figure: A bill granting such permission has
passed the Senate, but is now hung up In
the House, where. 1t is likely to remain
lor some Time. probably, owing TO sides
being taken by those Interested and bringing
influence pro and con. The government authorf-
ngures possible, and II the permission should be
granted it would revert the benefit OF the gov
ernments no matter who should be awarded the
contract The lowest bid In the original proposals
was ~ cents per cubic yard. 1t was regarded as
too high, as 80 cents was estimated as
reasonable figure. The next lowest bid
was forty mine cents, but this was made
with the pr0visO that the bidder be eal0Wed to lay
tracks and run cars in the streets from Dud1ing-
ton hill, near the Capitol to the monument. 1t
was thought probable that II all bidders should be
allowed this privilege and could maze their offers
accordingly contract might be secured at reason
able figures. It makes no difference to the govern
ment where the material Is procured, nor who
secures the contract but It now looks as though
nothing would be done about the matter.

President OF pettffOggfng in his written appeal in
behalf OF Matthews. Mr.. Ingalls, said the appoint

GALENA, III, Jan. 27.-Dr. + ID. kittoe, who was
conspicuous in the Army OF the Tennessee and the
Army OF the Mississippi and served on Gen.
Grants stail was interviewed yesterday on the
subject OF Gen. Boyntons recent letter 10 the New
York Sun regarding Grants alleged intemperate
habits during the war; and said that Gen. Boyntons
statement was founded entirely on facts which are
well known to every survivor OF Grants military
family during the nrst years OF the war, and To
many others who held Intimate personal relations

doctor Ia confirmation OF the statements made by
Gen. Boynton, which strongly testified 10 the

actuajed John A. Rawiins I'm his relations with
Gen Grant. During the interview DR. Kittoe re-
ferred 10 Grants repeated Efforts 10 overcome the
desire for strong drink while he was in the army
and of his nnal victory through his own persist
ency and the encouragement and advice so
freely given him by Rawiins. He WAS constantly
surrounded by tempt1tion, and AT times it pre-
sented Itself in such q form that few men, al
though endowed with the high degree OF moral
courage characteristic or Grant. could have sue
